Family Assessment

This learning activity aims for a full understanding and unbiased view of the family—not just its problems but also its strengths, values, and goals. Understanding family structure and style is essential to caring for a family in a community setting. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify strengths as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.  Family Assessment
